I like to take pictures of my food when I go out to eat, and I like to write reviews on my experiences. I enjoy my burgers well done, but still want them to be juicy and delicious. Burgers are not all that I eat, and I'm going to blog about whatever it is that I decide to order. I like trying new restaurants, as well as introducing friends to my favorite places. I think that good service goes a long way.

Yellow Dog Eats

I’m just going to start out by saying that Yellow Dog Eats
is my favorite restaurant!

The true test of a good
restaurant is when not only do you want to go back again and again, but you
also want to take friends so that they can try it too. As I am trying to think
of how many people I have currently taken there I am at 15, and I bet by the
time I have posted this it will be even higher.

Located in the middle of a quiet neighborhood in Gotha (16
minute from Downtown Orlando) this house-turned-in-to-a-restaurant has become a
place that I have awakened from a deep sleep with anxious cravings of Yellow
Dog’s creations!

The ATMOSPHERE… In a word…Eclectic! Purchase bottles of Wine
or Homemade BBQ Sauce while looking at photos of Dogs (from customers) pasted
all over the walls. The owner named Fish might be walking around to check on
your food or crack a joke.

The SERVICE… Order at the main counter (line can be very long at peak
times) and wait for your name to be called. After getting your food dine either
INSIDE on graffiti-filled wooden tables (try upstairs if the first floor is
full) or OUTSIDE in the beautiful Patio on stone picnic tables.

The FOOD… Great BBQ, Pulled Pork and Gourmet Sandwiches,
Vegetarian and Vegan with Gluten-Free Options. They offer a “Special” sandwich
of the day, as well as a soup or two and some amazing side items. Then top it
off with one of their extremely decadent locally made Desserts!

Their Pulled Pork is hard to beat, and I have found that I
cannot go there without having either the PULLED PORK SALAD (A bed of fresh
greens, grape tomatoes, red onions, scallions, carrots, tangy bleu cheese,
fried onions, cucumbers and dikon sprouts topped with a hearty serving of our
famous pulled pork and Fish’s Citrus-BBQ sauce $12.95),

There is just something about the combination of the
Succulent Pork and Fish’s Citrus BBQ Sauce that is completely addictive!

Your sandwich will come with a bag of Chips and their sweet and
delicious Slaw, but I also highly recommend getting an additional side item
such as their Pesto Tomato/ Mozzarella Salad with Balsamic Glaze or the Spicy
Roasted Potatoes.

One time I even had a Burger with Bacon and Bleu cheese that
was the “special of the day” and it was also outstanding!

I have yet to eat something there that I did not enjoy!

Everyone that I have ever taken there has loved it, and they
all seem to want me to take them back again and again. I can’t think of a nicer
thing to say about a place, and there aren’t many others that I have ever said
that about.
